Sorry added a text for clarification. Im working on it. Will release once i have a stable test. I just have some small issues that Im working on. Also need to create some images etc for the design. Then I will release as test here for you guys to test it out. ---

Hi Ludvig, great, WLED is something I wanted to try, but somehow I always missed the starting point. Do you have any recommendations for controllers and stripes to start with playing around? I’m a bit overwhelmed, especially with the stripes. 🙂 ---

Hey there. The nice thing here is that its very straight forward as long as you can do some smal soldering. More or less you need to solder 3 wires to the ESP32 and then 3 on the ledstrip. So this what you need: 1. Soldering Iron 2. Solder stuff liked led 3. 3 wires (or one that you cut in 3 peaces) 4. You buy I would say any ESP32 device. i love the ESP32 D1 Mini, like this one [https://www.amazon.se/AZDelivery-WiFi-Modul-Bluetooth-Development-kompatibel/dp/B08BTLYSTM/?th=1](https://www.amazon.se/AZDelivery-WiFi-Modul-Bluetooth-Development-kompatibel/dp/B08BTLYSTM/?th=1) but any one would do 5. You buy any ws2812b led strip out there (most of them are this version) you can find them in your local tech stores or warehouse or on amazon of course [https://www.amazon.se/Boarda-WS2812B-Individuellt-IP30-vattentät-gör-det-själv-belysning/dp/B09TKZ6KZW/](https://www.amazon.se/Boarda-WS2812B-Individuellt-IP30-vattent%C3%A4t-g%C3%B6r-det-sj%C3%A4lv-belysning/dp/B09TKZ6KZW/) just like this one. The only thing you should look for is that it has 3 soldering spots (some have 5 then its another story) 6. Cut the leds where you want it 1,5,10,100 leds 7. Solder 3 wires on the spots 8. Solder on the ESP VCC to + or VCC on led normally to the right, 9. Solder on the ESP GND to - normally left 10. Solder on the ESP IO16 to the middle 11. Install WLED on the device by connecting tor you computer and go to [https://install.wled.me/](https://install.wled.me/) to install and config wifi 12. Download the WLED Native app on app store to do all the fancy settings like saying how many leds you have etc 13. Use this app to make flows and handle it via Homey A bit quick guide here of course. There are probably hundres of youtube videos and guides on how to do it. So just find your self some solder stuff, a esp32, a random led and get going. ---

Thanks, that this is helpful. I have already watched a few videos, but this helps me. Does your app also work with a controller like this one [GLEDOPTO WLED Controler digitale adressierbare LED Stripe WS2811, WS2812B, SK6812, WS 2801 APA 012, APA104 (WLED Gen. 2)](https://www.amazon.de/GLEDOPTO-WLED-Controler-digitale-adressierbare/dp/B0D8LKXTTK?th=1) ---

It’s only tested with an esp32 device. My app work via the wled API so as long as that is normal I can’t se why not. ---

Thank you for this information. I have many WLED Controllers in my Home. Now I use the App D.A.L.O.R to control all my WLEDs with Homey Pro. Would you like to add WLED presets or other stuff in your App? My recommendations: i like this WLED controller with the 4MB storage for future updates [https://a.aliexpress.com/\_ExmW8su](https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExmW8su) After you receive this Controller you can update it with files from here [https://mm.kno.wled.ge/](https://mm.kno.wled.ge/) i like LED-Stripes from BTF Lighting [BTF-LIGHTING Official Store - Amazing products with exclusive discounts on AliExpress](https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHLnkFW) ---

Mm I have problems with DALOR that why I made this. Not all my units are found with discovery and sometimes I have devices on different subnet. And since you cant add manually or you cant change existing either I made this 🙂 Have added presets now for 1.0.1 that is under review. ---

Hello, I share your opinion. I’ve also had problems adding new devices. Even after successfully adding them, I have to disable a setting in the respective device so that not the light turns on automatically if the controller is lost. Where i can download/ test your app? ---

Yes, nice! I got ESP32 and GLEDOPTO led strips in my house. Together with a Hyperion raspberry pi behind my tv. According to my wife we have enough led strips now. But I beg to differ. Thanks! ---

Hmm thanks for this, the flow now runs without errors but nothing happens on the led strip. Only turning it on and off works. Anything to do with the firmware? Im using the moon module WLED firmware. Tried removing and adding the strips again to no avail. ---

Are there any plans for adding support for controlling segments individually? The D.A.L.O.R. app have this “Set Effect…” option that gives you alot of options. Something like that would be cool. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/3/d325994efb5c50372dc6161172b6c190449d5805.png) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-wled-controller/133405.md?page=2)
